Crankcase Explosion

Today in Diesel class we learned about crankcase explosions. The instructor mentioned that it particularly happens in larger displacement engines and marine applications. I'm just curious if this ever has happened in a light duty high performance application?

sorry, cant give an attachment, but marinediesels.co.uk under horror stories in the left bank.
